Tip: Always look for a shade of foundation with the right base tones, and adapt it to suit you. Olive complexions look best with make up that has yellow undertones, pale skin suits foundations with pink tones and dark complexions should opt for make up with red undertones. Boots recommends No7 Instant Radiance Foundation and Max Factor Miracle Touch Foundation.

Complement the Look With...

An Audrey Hepburn-inspired, gently backcombed bun or chignon looks great at Christmas. Complete the look with a thick black ribbon tied into a bow at the nape of the neck and add a sparkly hair slide for a touch of subtle glamour.
